Just one day after Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne voiced their opposition to trophy hunting, rocker Ted Nugent, known for his enthusiasm for hunting, listed 10 autographed whitetail deer skulls for sale on his official website.
Trophy hunting refers to killing animals for sport and keeping parts of them as trophies while often discarding the edible portions.
On Tuesday, November 19th, Nugent’s website featured 10 unique whitetail deer skulls, each priced at $1,750. Interested buyers can purchase them directly from the site.
The description on Nugent’s web store states: “Each skull is from a deer that Ted tagged with his bow and arrow on his Michigan property. Each is unique and one of a kind.”
In a statement on his website, Nugent added:
“The ultimate quality of life enhancer is Spirit Mojo! Testimonials from the recipients of my autographed deer skulls exclaim astonishing celebratory quality of life enhancing GonzoMojo! Gityasome!”
Nugent’s decision to list the skulls closely follows Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s public support for the UK’s Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting. On Monday, November 18th, the couple appeared in a video released by Ban Trophy Hunting UK, wearing custom t-shirts that read, “Ozzy says ‘No trophy hunting!’”
